Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions.
I will head down to the LV boutique and choose between the Batignolles Horizontal or Vertical.
I believe she will love either one.
I'm mystified as well as to why LV could not repair the bag. The shoulder strap broke and the plastic is ripping as well. I believe it's the ripping that LV cannot address. Regardless, I'm sure the local shoe repair shop can at least fix the strap.
Once again, I truly appreciate everyone's help and insight.
Thank you
